| Cameo - Hits Collection Band: Cameo Essential Cameo Of course, everybody knows Cameo for its breakthrough hit "Word Up," but fans of the old school will remember this group for its earlier, more soulful hits like "She's Strange" and "Aligator Woman." The hits of Larry Blackmon and Co. get compiled on this solid single-disc collection, and what amazing Ride it is. "Candy," "Back and Forth," and a slew of others sound just as fresh as they were released back in the day. Personally, this disc gets bonus points from me for including "Shake Your Pants," which appeared in the 1997 movie "Love Jones." This disc is required, essential listening from one of the more innovative funk acts of the 1980's. It doesn't get funkier ! If you Love funk, you have to own this collection. This CD has the funk classics that made Cameo and Blackmon legendary. I like Word Up, but it was the material they did before that that makes this a great CD. I was alittle disappointed with the version of "She's Strange" that they put on here, but can't argue with the overall song selections. Single Life, Flirt, I Just Want To Be, & Attack Me with Your Love are some of the highlights. Oooops, I forgot "Shake Your Pants" and "Sparkle". Did I mention this is a great CD? Deep! If you only know Cameo from the '80s haircut hit "Word Up" or the fractous "Candy", then you need to take a listen! "Shake Your Pants" embodies more funk grooves and fat lyrics that a whole messa better known Pretenders - as well as containing the lyric "Sasson, Jordache, even Gloria Vanderbilt/When I shake my pants you know I'm dressed to kill" and "She's Strange" says with an incredible beat what I've been trying to explain to explain about the '80s for years. A must-have for any funk collection! Buy Cameo Hits Collection at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.comJamster - the latest ringtones for your phone! |
